Bracing in the wrist area is trickier to do. Looking at the factory stock it's clear to see that the weakest area - the area with the least amount of material, is from the rear of the trigger to the back of the safety bracket. There just isn't enough meat (polymer) in this area to keep it from flexing, and there's really no way to stiffen it up with additional bracing as there's no room to. That being the case the only alternative is to epoxy the separate trigger guard piece in place so it is no longer removable.
The second step to stiffening up the wrist is to drill a hole length-wise through the grip so that a rod can be epoxied in place to eliminate the flex in it. As forum member caymen last recommends below, the best place to drill is through the grip just above where the trigger guard locating tab fits with the hole terminating in the void within the buttstock.

I stiffened the stock front with a carbon fiber arrow and epoxy, the but has a 12" aluminum gutter spike and half filled with epoxy, and the trigger guard permanently fixed with super glue.
I welded together a 14" drill bit and drilled from the front all the way under the recoil lug into the trigger housing cavity. then put two sections of CF arrow in.
I fixed them in place with epoxy putty, and filled some of the front sections with Devcon epoxy.
The same drill bit was used to make a hole in the but stock just above the square hole where the trigger guard peg fits, glued the trigger guard in place and placed a 12" aluminum gutter spike in the hole and half filled the but stock with epoxy.
I also sanded the barrel channel a little, so a business card could easily slide all the way back between the stock and barrel, the whole stock seems to be more stable and you have to squeeze pretty hard to get the barrel to touch, no problem shooting from a bipod or bags.
